They came from a land down under

Well sorry for making you all wait so long to see my wonderful goodies but unfortunately Mr Locket had the car yesterday and the camera was in the glove compartment and then when I was ready to take pics today the battery was flat!!! I wasn't trying to be particularly mean, honest!

I just love Aunty Cookie's cookie people and that music fabric is beautiful - and what I just noticed today when I was photographing it is that Annie has made the music staves join up so they run smoothly across the quilt - she's a clever thing!

Annie sent me all these gorgeous fabrics including some ladybird gingham which will be great to make things for the Little Lockets and some more Aunty Cookie peeps!

and she also included this gorgeous rose and a beautiful embroidered and beaded heart

Thank you so much Annie - I love every bit of my parcel from you and especially my quilt - it is FABULOUS!!!!!

Next up in this amazing parcel was my quilt from Jodie - when we had talked about what I might make for her and vice versa I said I would just like something that her "Ric-Rac humour" - and I think I got it don't you???

This quilt just makes me laugh so much - I love it - and it is so Jodie!

And then Jodie also sent me some wonderful Aunty Cookie fabric - I hadn't realised I had sent those "I ADORE Aunty Cookie fabric" vibes so loudly - I was squealing with excitement as I opened each parcel from these wonderful girls (because guess what Rachel sent me too!)

look I even got the knitting one I longed for! But I'm not sure if the skipping child is AC or not?

and then there were these beautiful charm squares too!

and two of Jodie's cards - I am even more amused than ever about the tape measure one after Jodie's tape measure purse tutorial where she tells us to get some tape measures from our "tape measure collection"!

Lucy, your newest mini quilts are just bloomin fabulous. Now I understand why you are making 22 to send back because I want one from everyone too.And all that Aunty Cookie fabric to boot, you so deserve it all.X Clare

oh my god! what some wonderful quilts - you are one lucky girl! they are all fantastic but the stitchery one was to die for - what an amazing gift! you'll have to get one of those glass frames and then you can see both sides!

Oh Lucy, I'm glad they all arrived safely. I enjoyed opening all the parcels with you and loved it all too. I'm so happy you squealed with delight, as that's what I did when I saw the one you sent Jodie. Happy sewing with your new fabric.

Again, Not original...WOOOOOW, I love them. Have just been looking at those Auntie Cookie fabric elsewhere...want some..not sure what for, but want some.Lucky girl to have received such wonderful quilt AND fabric too
